Hakes nominated
for highest honor
By Kayla Peche
Students may only be part way through the school year,
but Cornell senior Curtis Hakes is being honored by the state,
and possibly the entire nation before graduation.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars program was established by
Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, to honor the nations most
distinguished graduating high school seniors.
In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students
who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative
and performing arts, and then in 2015, the program extended
again to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields.
Each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential
Scholars, which the department says is one of the nations
highest honors for high school students.
Now its not a scholarship program, said Dave Elliott,
Cornell principal. Its a recognition programIts a big
deal. This isnt some organization outside thats looking for
money. This is coming right from the U.S. Department of Education.
Each of the 511 public schools in Wisconsin could nominate one senior in areas such as high ACT/SATscores, fine
arts, outstanding scholarship while overcoming hurdles or
challenges, and career and technical education. With the new
career and technical education field, Elliott said Hakes was
an ideal candidate, especially after his experience with small
business administration and future plans in the technical field.
After the local nomination, Hakes received a letter Nov. 2
from state superintendent Tony Evers, stating Hakes had been

Paul Schley, Cornell district superintendent, congratulates senior Curtis Hakes on his nomination
from the state to be selected as one of five for the

program is one of the highest honors for high
school students.

The Cornell planning commission gave
the go ahead Dec. 2, recommending the
council zone land on Riverside Drive as A1 Agricultural, which would allow Al and
Sue Potaczek to construct a business there.
It seemed cut and dried, but some concerns
were voiced about the deal at the regular
council meeting the following night.
If the property is zoned agricultural, the
Potaczeks could then apply to the Board of
Zoning for a Conditional Use Permit. The
Conditional Use Permit would allow the
couple to construct a building to house their
new business, selling antique farm accessories, firewood and primitive items.
My question is, anything can be put on
there? asked council member Floyd Hickethier.
Its agricultural, so you put a house on
it, but what they want to do is put a business
up, said mayor Judy Talbot. You can
spell out specifically what type of building,
how big it is, what it looks like, how much
other stuff they can have on the property.
Hickethier said hes not concerned what
type of building is there, but rather having
old farm implements that make the place
look junky at the entrance to town.
You can say you dont want junky, rusty

farm machinery, said Talbot. If they violate your conditional use, its gotta go.
A public hearing will be held Dec. 17,
prior to the regular council meeting, for
anyone with concerns or questions regarding the zoning. Council members will then
vote on zoning for the lot.
For now, were just going to get it zoned,
because it has to have some type of zoning
because it is now opened by private people, said Talbot.
On other agenda, city administrator Dave
DeJongh gave an update on yearly mil rates
and tax levies.
The net tax after school credit thats
about as close as a change as Ive ever
seen went up 4 cents on $1,000, said DeJongh. The lottery credit was down a little
bit.
Taxes to be levied for 2015 are
$1,227,116.95, up $11,728.62 from 2014.
As a reminder, Talbot said residents who
wish to run for open positions on the council can pick up candidacy papers. To be on
the ballot, an individual needs to have 50
signatures from those living in the city.
In addition, those running for write-in

Nothing compares to life in a small town

By Monique Westaby
Managing Editor
I cant wait to get out
of this small town.
I hate living here. It
will be the best day when
I can move to a big city.
When I graduate, Im
leaving and never coming back.
We have all heard these phrases and although not everyone who makes the statement follows through, an unsettling large
number do. Between 2007 and 2008, nearly
12 percent of Americans changed residences, according to data from the U.S.
Census. A Pew Social & Demographic
Trends survey also shows that most Americans have moved to a new community at
least once in their lives.
Realistically, we need both types of people the small towners and the big city folk.
After all, if everyone stayed in a small town
there wouldnt be any small towns left.
And although nearly four in 10 people
stay where they were born, the last few
weeks have proven that six in 10 people are
missing out on the ammenities of staying
near family and friends, especially those
who come with small, tight-knit communities like Cadott, Cornell and Lake Holcombe.
Let me explain.
The day before Thanksgiving I braved the
rush and hit the grocery store. Thinking that
1 p.m. would be an OK time to grab a few
items I needed and head home, I rounded
the backside of Gordys from Ripley and
turned on Sixth Street. The side parking lot
was packed and the spaces in front of the
store were full.
I had baby in tow and walking from the
big lot wasnt something I felt like doing.
Just as I made another circle, a spot opened.
I geared myself for the crowd I knew was

inside, and lugged baby and carrier to the
door. My cart quickly filled with my needed
(and some not-so-needed) items, and by the
time I hit the checkout I had four paper
bags, a bag of potatoes and a gallon of milk.
The little cart was heaped and I still had a
baby carrier on the other arm.
As I walked through the automatic doors,
maneuvering the cart with one arm, a man
behind me asked if he could push my cart
for me. I assured him I was OK, and because my car was a straight shot from the
door, and downhill, I knew it wouldnt be
too difficult to get there.
Are you sure? He asked. That looks
like quite the load.
I said I was good but thanked him sincerely for his offer.
I turned around to see who the kind man
was. I didnt recognize him, but I will never
forget the kindness in his eyes as he limped
across the parking lot, helping another
shopper load her car and put her cart away.
I had witnessed unselfish kindness on a
busy day in little Cornell, something I doubt
a big city would have produced.
Just a little over a week later, I again experienced something only small towns deliver.
Being late is an understatement in my
After a quick conversation with Mrs.

Claus about what had happened, we had a
home visit set up for that night. My heart
smiled at the overwhelming kindness this
couple was expressing for a four-monthold.
Chase needs his first picture with
Santa, she said.
And that night, as promised, Chase received his first meeting with Santa, a house
visit especially for him. I was so grateful to
Santa for working us into his schedule, and
although Chase will only remember the moment through photos, I will cherish the
memory and kindness for a lifetime.
Do you think Santa at the mall would
make a house call because a child showed
up late?
You can rag on your small town and wish
you were somewhere else all you want, but
theres nowhere else that compares. The
people, the lifestyle, the hospitality all of
it comes from that close community I call
home.
Whether its a friendly hello as I walked
to the bank when I worked in Cadott, a
warm hug from an elementary student when
I cover something in Lake Holcombe, a
kind gesture from a stranger in Cornell or a
house call from Santa, theres nowhere else
Id rather be, than living in a small town.

life, and its been a family joke since I can

remember. Of course, the jabs dig a little
deep now and then, but the phrase, The
truth hurts didnt get so popular because it
wasnt accurate.
It was the day of the Kids Community
Christmas Party (an amazing free event for
the community that draws in hundreds of
children from the area and beyond), and I
had promised my son a visit with Santa.
Granted, my boy is only 4 months old, but
as a new parent, I was excited to get his first
picture on Good Ol Saint Nicks lap.
The event ran from 11-1, and as I pulled
into the parking lot at 12:45, I wasnt too
concerned. I would grab a few photos for
work, then my boy would meet Santa; 15
minutes was plenty of time. A few photos
turned into several and by the time the
drawing for four free bikes, a tablet and
multiple gift cards were given out, Santa
had left for another gig.
I could feel the tears welling in my eyes
while my husband hugged me and said it
was OK. He tried to console me, saying we
would just have to find where Santa would
be again. But that didnt seem good enough
since I had promised my little boy a meeting
that day.
I calmed myself down, telling myself that
it was fine, but feeling like a bad parent.

provide for their families.

But do people really need more than one
or two gifts and time spent with loved
ones? And if so, are they willing to work
for it?
Some think they are entitled to amenities
that others work for. Unfortunately for
them, Gov. Scott Walker isnt going to let
that happen.
In April, Wisconsins new budget required new stipulations to obtain food
stamps in order to avoid fraud and misuse
of the system.
Under the law, healthy adults without
children under 18 at home must either
work at least 80 hours per month (only 20
hours a week a part-time position), enroll
in an employment training program, or
work and participate in the training program for 80 hours a month. If a FoodShare
recipient fails to do one of the three options, he or she loses the program benefits
for three years.
Seems like a responsible requirement,
especially because food stamps were put in
place as a way to get people back on their
feet help them, help themselves.
But now, over six months later, people
are beginning to complain about this requirement because it has taken more than
15,000 recipients access away, according
to the Wisconsin Department of Health
Services.
In The Badger Herald, Sherrie Tussler,
Hunger Task Force executive director, said
since the loss of FoodShare benefits, soup
kitchens and food pantries have experienced an increase in attendance. The article continued with, She said the people
coming to food pantries are not just looking for emergency food, but sustaining
food to get them through the month without
a FoodShare card.
If food pantries may have to start sup-
plying to more people, especially in urban

areas like Milwaukee, then why are so
many losing their food stamp privileges?
Participants get three months of FoodShare benefits before being kicked out of
the program if they decline to look for
work.
Why would anyone decline to look for
work? This program is not even asking the
individual to get a job, but requiring them
to look for one, or get help to look for one.
But there arent any jobs out there.
InWisconsin, there were 2,908,900 jobs
in October 2015, according to the Current
Employee Statistics survey of employers.
That same survey states that Wisconsin has
added 16,100 jobs last month alone.
The jobs are out there. If you are capable
of work, then you should be able to find a
job. It may not be the best pay or first career choice, but it is a job and a way for the
recipients to still receive FoodShare benefits.
Wisconsins new requirements may
seem wrong this holiday season, when
more families go to food pantries and soup
kitchens. But realistically, these family
members are only hurting those who actually need the help.
If someone has the physical and mental
ability to work, then they should be working. The state cant give free handouts to
everyone, they arent Santa Claus.
In the long run, free handouts are going
to hurt everyone else by making their expenses go up. In turn, more people will be
unable to afford food, continuing the vicious cycle.
Appreciate the opportunity to get help
finding a job, or receiving extra funds to
get groceries every week. There shouldnt
be 15,000 or more people losing FoodShare privileges. Obviously, those people
are abusing the gifts our government gives.
OP-ED AREA NEWS
A&D Docks on the move after 20 years

members approved the sale of the parcel in a development
agreement Nov. 11.
Were very excited to see a new business out at that industrial site, said mayor Judy Talbot. Any of our industrial
areas are open for development; just come to us and well
find something for you.
Plans for the new business site include a two-phase construction in which A&D Docks will construct a warehousetype building with a driveway and unloading area. Following
that, in two to three years, the second phase will begin, consisting of a showroom, offices, shipping and receiving department, and manufacturing/rebuilding facility.
Id like total separation, said Dustin. Where business is
business and home is home; and right now, we dont have
that.
A&D Docks employs five
full-time workers and 12-15
seasonal helpers, along with
operating almost completely
out of their home location.
Because of late season
time constraints, the development action was pushed
through as fast as legally
possible, but Dustin said the
changing November weather
was against them. Although
electrical and most of the excavation is complete, it just
didnt happen, and the
foundation will have to wait
until spring.
Id just like to say thank
you to the people on the city
A&D Docks has been a familiar sight along Highway 27 north of Cornell for 20 council for all their hard
years, but owners Dustin and Angela Winrich plan to pack up and move the work and getting it done for
business less than a mile down the road. After purchasing a plot of land from us, said Dustin. It was rethe city, the couple has already begun a two-phase construction project to ally fast. We appreciate it

After 20 years, A&D Docks, just north of Cornell on State
Highway 27, is moving just down the road eventually.
Dustin and Angela Winrich, owners of A&D Docks, plan to
construct new buildings for their business at the airport industrial site.
After they outgrew their current location, A&D Docks
rented a hangar from Jack Bresina for two years to unload
semis bringing dock pieces and supplies. All that changed
when Bresina sold the building, and the Winrichs learned the
space would most likely not be available much longer.
I thought about it for a long time, said Dustin. Here
were packed. Theres no room. We went to the city and decided to buy property from them.

Hakes will receive an invitation to apply for the national
recognition by mid-January, and applications are due in February. At the beginning of May, the commission of presidential scholars in Washington, D.C., will select the national

Letter to the Editor

Letter to the editor:
The time has come for the members of Jump River Electric
Cooperative to get involved and take back ownership of our
co-op.
The board of directors for JREC has taken notice that only
a few members of the co-op actually take an interest in the
dealings of the co-op. As a result, it seems some members of
the board may have corrupted themselves by greed and misappropriated spending at the expense of those who pay their
monthly bills to JREC.
At the co-ops member appreciation days, myself and another gentleman handed out flyers about the exorbitant earnings of our elected board of directors compared to other
electrical co-ops in the region. These figures were taken off
the IRS website and JRECs 990 form that must be submitted
to the IRS. These figures are public information and are easily accessible online.
At the member appreciation event, the president of the
JREC board of directors, Ed Wollwert, promised me that he
would make sure that all records and requested information
on training for the board of directors (and spending for all of
this needed training) would be made available upon request.
However, this week when several members of the co-op
went into the Ladysmith JREC office they were told that Mr
Weld, the JREC attorney, instructed the employees to not distribute any requested information until after the next board
meeting.
This is the same attorney Weld that instructed Steve Truver
JRECs vice president, to call the police on me and have me
arrested for distributing flyers at the customer appreciation
days in Hayward.
Question: Who does Attorney Weld represent, JREC, or
Ed Wollwert and the board? When Iposed this question to
the attorney at our annual meeting, he replied, I dont have
to give you answers and pushed on by.
Contact your board members, demand answers. Members
of the JREC are as follows. Jane Reich (District 1), Phil
Kaiser (District 2), Art Thompson (District 3), Jerry Carow
(District 4) District 5 is empty, Steve Truver (District 6),
Larry Kagigebi (District 7), Al Kiwazek ((District 8), Ed
Wollwert (District 9).
Ask what Ed Wollwert and his friends on the board are trying to hide by delaying the information requests? Why cant
we know how the board is spending our money? Why cant
a member receive a copy of the board meeting minutes? Why
are there no approved minutes since January of 2015? Are
the minutes being rewritten to protect the board from legal
action?
It is high time our elected board members give us some
straight answers!
Concerned JREC Member,
Tim Smith,

CVEC customers urged to

be on lookout for scam call
Customers of the Chippewa Valley Electric Cooperative
(CVEC) are cautioned to be wary of calls they may receive
in the co-ops name, demanding payment for a delinquent
bill. Someone acting as a CVEC representative contacted an
electric customer Dec. 7, at approximately 4:15 p.m., asking
for payment via MoneyGram, and threatening immediate disconnection if not paid.
The caller knew the members name, address and account
number. The cooperative does not make collection calls outside of normal business hours (7:30 a.m.-4 p.m.), and works
with members to make payment arrangements.
If a CVEC customer receives a collection call from a number other than 715-239-6800, or has any question regarding
a collections call, they are urged to call the CVEC office
during normal business hours to confirm the legitimacy of
the call.
Holidays good time to

prevent drunk driving
From the WisDOT
Forty-five people were killed in traffic crashes last month,
according to preliminary statistics from the WisDOT. Traffic
fatalities last month were six fewer than November 2014 and
two fewer than the five-year average for November.
Last month was also the fourth safest November in terms
of traffic deaths since World War II. Four people died in
crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday period
As of the end of November, 520 people have died in Wisconsin traffic crashes this year, including 75 motorcycle operators, four motorcycle passengers, 52 pedestrians and 15
bicyclists.
To prevent deaths and injuries during the upcoming holiday season, law enforcement agencies will be on the lookout
for drunken drivers during the national Drive Sober or Get
Pulled Over campaign from Dec. 18-Jan. 3, says David
Pabst, director of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation
Safety. Drunken driving is entirely preventable, and were
striving to attain zero preventable traffic deaths in Wisconsin.
Theres no better time of year to make progress toward that
goal than right now.

Tales of our Beginnings

Cadott Cornell Lake Holcombe areas
On June 14, 1989, the ZCBJ and the Bohemian National Cemetery, located about
half a mile north of the lodge on State Highway 27, were established as a county historical site through the efforts of the Cadott Area Historical Society.
This was the societys first major historical project, and on April 23, 1992, the hall
and cemetery were placed on the National Register of Historical Places.
The ZCBJ (Zapadni Ceska Bratrska Jednota, translated as Western Bohemian Fraternal Association) is a not-for-profit fraternal organization that insures its members.
Those who buy into the plan are automatically members.
In 1907, 45 members built the lodge, which along with the cemetery, are symbols of
the ethnic-social fraternal
ideals of the Czech immigrants who settled in the area
7 miles north of Cadott.
The lodge hall, which was
the center of many social activities, is once again being
used for weddings, plays presented by area youth, Long
Live the Squeeze Box,
BINGO night and annual
dinners, along with other
events.
The
restoration
was made possible
through the efforts of
many of the younger
lodge members who
are still in the
process of completely refurbishing
the building.

One mission changes

area history and culture
By Kayla Peche
With places named after French immigrants like Cadott
and Brunet Island, history flows through this area just as the
Chippewa River touches the communities.
Our area here is just riddled with French influence and
French heritage, said Father Thomas of Fort Bon Secours.
And weve got a certain right to be proud of that.
Fort Bon Secours will hold an open house Saturday, Dec.
12, from 10-4 p.m., where Father Thomas will share information on the influence of French and Native Americas on
the nation and Wisconsin, and how one mission impacted the
entire region.
Ill be talking about the early history of Wisconsin and
the role that the Mission de Saint-Esprit (Mission of the Holy
Spirit) played, said Father Thomas. Most people are not
even aware that it was there. It operated for about six years.
As guests walk into Fort Bon Secours, they will be transported back in history with the chapel replicated like the Mission of the Holy Spirit. Father Thomas said he will provide a
tour and two presentations (at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.) on the history. Hot water for coffee, hot chocolate and cider will be
provided.
Father Thomas said he hopes to expand the knowledge for
people on the great influence this mission had, and the rich
ancestral history.
As the cabinet is left empty, there was only one bottle

to pour to say goodbye to the last fallen comrade of
the Last Mans Club. The club began in 1957 to honor
and commemorate departed members, and keep the
memory of them alive. Any veteran who was a member of the American Legion Post 353 was eligible for
membership and had a bottle of their choice to be
shared by the other members. The last man standing
was Charles Johnson, 81, who died Nov. 15, 2015. In
Johnsons honor, the American Legion members
opened his bottle Dec. 1, toasting his life and the
memories of the Last Mans Club.

Cornell has opportunity to upgrade distance learning

CESA 10s education technology department has secured
a USDA Distance Learning and Telemedicine Grant to replace video conferencing equipment in 10 Wisconsin schools,
including the Cornell Middle/High School. With funds from
the grant and matching school dollars, the school receives
around $36,000 in interactive video classroom equipment.
The ability to secure these large-scale cooperative grants
is another example of the value that CESA 10 brings to
schools, said Michael Haynes, administrator for CESA 10.
In addition to purchasing the equipment, CESA 10 also
provides training, ongoing support and help with the development of project-based learning activities.
Cornell has three years to spend the money to upgrade distance learning equipment, something superintendent Paul
Schley says will be needed over time.
Right now, the technology in the room we have still
works, said Schley. If it starts to go bad, well jump on this
a little sooner.
Cornell after school students already take advantage of the
schools interactive room, and have virtually toured Alaskan
schools in one of their sessions.
Because so many students have laptops and computers,
Schley says it might not be worth it to upgrade until its absolutely necessary, but says hes glad the option is there.
Id like to wait a little longer and hope the costs come
down, said Schley. Even with the grant, its still expensive.

Shores restaurant over the weekend. The Lompas also met
with Gilman classmates for a luncheon at Martinos in Stanley, Monday.
Many people from Holcombe drove to Chippewa Falls Saturday to see the Wonderland Parade, then drove through
Irvine Park to see the sites.
This weekend, the Holcombe United Methodist Church
will present their madrigal. I understand it is sold out for both

Nativities represent Christmas forever

By Ginna Young
For some, Christmas is a time to festoon the yard with
brightly colored light displays, depicting Santa and his reindeer or the Grinch stealing toys. But for one Cornell woman,
decorating her house for Christmas starts on the inside, and
covers every available nook and cranny with nativity scenes.
I have them stashed all over, said Jean Bowe with a
laugh. Christmas is the best time of year for me.
Many of the nativities arent your ordinary manger scenes
made out of wood or pottery, although she has those too.
Bowes collection features
sets made in ceramic, glass,
plastic, metal, silver and
cardboard.
Some are music boxes,
while others are more unique
pieces like a cookie jar, puzzle, bells or water fountain.
Some are stuck in amongst
other decorations, while others adorn windows, walls and

every space in between.
The grandkids come to count the nativities, said Bowe.
They make it fun. Everything gets changed every year, nothings ever in the same place.
Although there are more than 150 nativities in her collection, Bowe has only been on the hunt for manger scenes since
2003.
We went to Alaska, and thats really when I got started,
said Bowe. I got two of them there and then everybody gives
you more after that.
While a collection like that could break the bank, most of
Bowes nativities come as gifts or are picked up at garage
sales for less than a dollar. Bowe says her most expensive
pieces are a set of tree ornaments she paid $18 for at a sale,
and a larger scale nativity which cost her $70.
Im always on the lookout for more, said Bowe. My
daughters-in-law always keep an eye out too. Its just fun to
see what you can find.
A few pieces of the collection are at least 50 years old, in-
cluding part of a set she inherited from her mother. Even with
a collection that large, Bowe only has one double so far.
Michelle came up with the idea the other day that I need
to write them all down, where I got them, said Bowe of her
daughter-in-law. So thats what Ill be doing when I put
them away.
It takes a week to set out the nativities and even longer to
rewrap them, and most have their original boxes. Bowe starts
her decorating the first week of November and finishes undecorating the last week in January, and says shes sad to see
the nativities put away.
I love them, says Bowe. Christmas is forever for me.
(Above) Jean Bowe holds one of her treasured nativity pieces she received from friend Sue Jensen. The
piece, originally from Italy, came to Bowe by way of Minnesota and identifies where its from on a slip of
paper. Bowes collection of over 150 nativities even includes one of her grandchildren and a small crche
made of clothespins. (Below) Keeping with Bowes unique nativity theme, a shelf display in the hall holds
a Native American scene.

As one of her more unique pieces, Jean Bowe displays a snow globe with a nativity scene inside as
part of her collection. Looking close, Mary and
Joseph can be seen in the background watching over
baby Jesus in the manger. (Photo by Ginna Young)

Experience earns the win, finally

By Kayla Peche
Head coach Shawn Schoelzel said Cornell boys basketball
has always come close when they play New Auburn, but
couldnt reach a win until Dec. 4.
Ithink some of last years experience helped us get this
win, Schoelzel said. I thought defensively we played very
well at the end of the game. We created some turnovers and
forced them to take difficult shots.
He says he was impressed with his players, especially junior Colton Hetke, who did a nice job of getting to the basket
and free throw line at the end.
Hetke had 20 points, 15 in the second half with six of seven
free throws made. He also added six rebounds, two assists

Fouls hail trouble

for Lake Holcombe
By Kayla Peche
The first half looked good for the Lake Holcombe Chieftains Boys Basketball team Dec. 3, as the halftime buzzer
rang with only three points between Prentice and them.
Although the score was tight, the Chieftains had racked up
fouls, with senior Nick Seng already at three, and four other
teammates with two.
Early foul trouble caught up with us, said Dave Engel,
Lake Holcombe head coach.
The Buccaneers held the lead in the second half, outscoring
Lake Holcombe 38-21with four of six three-pointers from
Prentices Taylor Brayton.
Seng, junior Jeremiah Reedy and sophomore Trent Novak
each had nine points to lead Lake Holcombe, with senior
Alec Hurlburt adding eight points.
With top scorers Seng, Reedy and Hurlburt all at four fouls,
the Chieftains were defeated by Prentice in the non-conference game, 61-41.
Lake Holcombe will host three East Lakeland Conference
games Dec. 8 vs. Cornell, Dec. 10 vs. Prairie Farm and
Dec. 11 vs. Flambeau.
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team began the Dec.
4 game in the hole, 9-1, against the Thorp Cardinals. But head
coach Brandon Mittermeyer said the game fluctuated back
and forth, tieing the teams 24-24 at halftime.
Cadott junior Drew Sonnentags shots started to sink with
four three-pointers and 100 percent of his free throws made,
which Mittermeyer said helped them claw back into it.
I thought we worked well as a team, said Sonnentag.
And we did what we had to do to win the game in the end.
In the second half, the Hornets took an early lead but lost
it after some errors kept the Cardinals flying. With team focus
and top scorers like Sonnentag (15) and junior Bryce Boyea
(10), Cadott earned a 44-42 Cloverbelt Conference win.
We did make some mental errors down the stretch which
nearly cost us the win, said Mittermeyer. It was nice to see
the players stick with it while Thorp was making their runs.
Mittermeyer says the Hornets play a very team-oriented
version of basketball, which is fun and easy to coach. The
team even scouted Thorp together earlier this season, and
Mittermeyer says that helped them change things defensively
for the game.
Cadott will host Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Dec. 8 and StanleyBoyd Dec. 10.

Ebner receives Track Coach of the Year

By Kayla Peche
I dont know anyone who works harder than he does,
said Knights assistant track coach Tim Sime about head track
coach Jake Ebner. He really deserves to be recognized and
honored.
In August, Sime said he wanted to give Ebner the acknowledgment he deserved, so Sime nominated him for the Wisconsin Track Coaches Associations (WISTCA) Coach of the
Year award. Sime says he had a difficult time setting up an
account with WISTCA, but made a few phone calls to get his
nomination letter into the right hands.
Sime wrote: Coach Ebner is a great motivator and is able
to get the very most out of his athletesCoach works tirelessly for both the cross country and track programs and the
kids understand and appreciate how hard he works for them.
A few months passed and Sime never heard back from the
association until one day, Ebner asked Sime if he had been
on the WISTCAsite.

and three steals, but Hetke says the whole team contributed
to the victory.
We really stepped up and finished the game well, Hetke
said. We played great defense and executed our offense to
score big points at the end.
Juniors Noah Nohr, Mitchell Swanson and Trenton Glaus
also had a nice game for the team. Nohr added 11 points,
13 rebounds and seven blocks. Swanson had nine points and
nine rebounds, with two assists and two steals. Glaus finished
with nine rebounds on defense.
It was a very intense game that came down to the end,
said Swanson. We played a strong defense, only allowing
four points in the last 5 minutes, 38 seconds, by doing what
we practice, and working as a team.
The Chiefs won by only one point (47-46), and Schoelzel
says the team needs to control the number of turnovers to win
more games. Cornell had 24 turnovers during the game with
14 in the first half.
We really need to clean up our turnovers but still be aggressive on the offensive end, he said. I felt there were
times we were timid, which resulted in our turnovers.
The Chiefs play their conference rival Lake Holcombe
Dec. 8 and finish the week at home against Winter Dec. 11.

Itold him, No, Ihavent been on there in a while, said

Sime with a smile. And then he asked how he got nominated
for Coach of the Year and Isaid, Well, I did make a phone
call.
Ebner said he found out about the award when Craig Shepard, awards chairman and previous head coach of Gilman
track for 34 years, sent an email to all of the recipients.
I was very surprised because I didnt know that voting
was even taking place for this award yet because the information never made it to the Lake Holcombe-Cornell
coaches, said Ebner. It was also an honor to have a legendary coach (Craig Shepard) from this area notify me that I
was receiving this award.
A Lake Holcombe track coach has never received this
recognition before, but Ebner was named Girls Track Coach
of the Year for District 1. Cornell and Lake Holcombe are
among 64 other schools in the district, and in order to receive
this award, Ebner was nominated by and voted upon the other
coaches in District 1.
Ebner says having a coach receive the award is a compliment to everyone involved in the track and field program.
He says it means other coaches recognize how well the program has operated the past few years.
We have had many hard-working and successful athletes
who have helped make this possible, Ebner said. I have
also had the opportunity to work with several other coaches
who have greatly contributed to our programs success Tim

Cornell girls come close to victory

By Kayla Peche
After a tight game against non-conference Eau Claire Immanuel last week, the Cornell girls basketball team set the bar
high against East Lakeland competitors.
Dec. 1 vs. Birchwood (L 39-37, conference)
The Cornell Chiefs Girls Basketball team held onto a 19-15
lead in the first half Dec. 1, but Birchwood brought it down to
the final seconds to decide the victor.
Cornell senior Siera Bauch said the team started out strong
and finished fairly strong, but started wearing out by the end.
Our shots werent falling as we would have liked, she said.
The shots that helped the Chiefs stay in the game came from
senior Elizabeth Sproul and sophomore Danielle Fasbender,
who earned 16 and 14 points respectively. It was Fasbenders
final basket that put them just shy of the win.
With 20 seconds left, Cornell was down by six points as
Bauch made a basket. At the next possession, Bauch passed to
Fasbender for the final shot. The clock lit with three seconds
left, but Bauch says it wasnt enough time to get past Birchwood and the Chiefs lost 39-37.
I think our mistakes were mostly mental, said junior Abby
Klein. Fouls and defense were what killed us in the second
half.
Klein says two of the starters had four fouls and one had three
to end the night, but shes positive the team will continue to improve. I think the more we practice and play together as a
team, things will only get better.
Dec. 4 vs. New Auburn (W 52-35, conference)
Cornell didnt waste any time getting better, and brought their
A-game Dec. 4 against New Auburn.
The key to us in the game was our defense, said Marcus
Leland, head coach. Toward the end of the first half we started
playing much better defense.
About the time defense warmed up, so did the offense, providing a 15-0 run at the end of the first half. With the second
half started, the Chiefs led 35-18 and Leland says New Auburn
didnt come closer than 11 points the rest of the night.
During this time our defense was excellent, he said. The
first half we started out very shaky. We were down 6-0 to start
the game and got into some early foul trouble. I was very happy
to see the girls push through this adversity and come away with

team in the first half. Without her stepping up, the game would
have been much closer.
The first-half power continued into the second as the Chiefs

Sproul led the team with 18 points, eight rebounds and two
blocks, and Moussette nailed 12 points and had five steals on
defense.
It was great to see things finally click for them on Friday

Loss shows team

their capabilities
By Kayla Peche
The Cadott girls basketball team started the Dec. 3 evening
in the lead against Cloverbelt Conference rival OsseoFairchild, but soon the second half would hurt the Hornets.
There was no energy on the court in the second half, said
senior Elizabeth Kyes, who scored 11 points before fouling
out early in the night. We tried to do too much and we
werent playing our game. The same thing happened in Augusta.
Kyes says this loss isnt going to bring the team down, and
she sees it as getting the bad halves out of the way. She led
the Hornets, along with classmate Chelsey Goettl, who also
scored 11 points. The two have played basketball together
since elementary school.

for the Cadott Hornets Dec. 3, against OsseoFairchild. Goettl had 11 points as a top scorer, but
the team was defeated by the Thunder, 54-44.

Now that she (Goettl) came back, we will work really well
together as point guards and leaders, said Kyes. We will
have to make sure we get the team motivated and ready to
work just as hard in the second half.
The Hornets fell behind and couldnt catch up, finishing
with a 54-44 loss. Sophomore Kallie Patrie agrees with her
teammates, saying this loss showed the team their capability.
We do have potential and the ability to do well this season, Patrie said. I think we need to work on talking on the
court and rebounding on both offense and defense.
Cadott plans to use what they learned as they travel to Fall
Creek Dec. 8 before hosting Altoona Dec. 11.
Long first week for Chieftain girls

By Kayla Peche
With three games in one week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday), the Lake Holcombe girls basketball team won the first,
but lost the next two against conference rival Bruce, and nonconference competitor Prentice. (Mondays game is in the Dec.
3 issue of the Courier Sentinel.)
Lake Holcombe sophomore Hannah Lee says the girls were
feeling worn out and sluggish by the end of the week, but
kept pushing through.
We still stuck with them the entire time, she said.
Dec. 1 vs. Bruce (L 34-30, conference)
In the second game of the season, East Lakeland competition
heated up as the Lake Holcombe Chieftains took on the Bruce
Red Raiders Dec. 1 at home.
The teams were tied at halftime, but the Chieftains fell behind
after some foul problems toward the end of the game.
We missed a few easy shots which set us below Bruce, said
Lee, who led Lake Holcombe with senior Kayla Vavra at nine
points each. In the end, they just had a few more shots fall and
we were in foul trouble.
Seniors Sara Stender and Bailey Viegut fouled out late in the
second half, which added to the struggle for the Chieftains.
Lee says the girls have started the season strong, and they
want to play well for the six seniors on the team.
We went into the game with a good mindset wanting to
win and play our hardest, Lee said. Because its a year full of
seniors, we want to make it a good year.
One senior, Kareese Jiskra, is new to the team and basketball.
Jiskra said she wanted to try something shes never done and
see if she could do it, so far its been great.
Im loving being a part of the team and learning something
new, Jiskra said. Im having a lot of fun. I think that from
the years that Ive watched the girls play, the team is doing significantly better than before too.
Although Lake Holcombe gave it their all, the team lost their
first conference game by four points against the Red Raiders.
Dec. 4 vs. Prentice (L 41-28, non-conference)
The non-conference match up Dec. 4 against the Prentice
Buccaneers was a true struggle for the Chieftains. Although
there was frustration with fouls and failed shots, Stender says
the game went well.
We played awesome defense, but we need to cut down on

the fouls, she said. Stender fouled out of the game with 25 seconds left, but not before scoring five points for Lake Holcombe.
In the first half, the Chieftains fell behind by eight. The second half was similar, with Lake Holcombe getting into foul
trouble, placing Prentice on the line for easy baskets.
It was really frustrating for us, said Lee. We just needed
a few baskets to win and the only way we could stop the clock
was to foul, which is where they were getting their points.
Lee and senior Jordan Geist, who led the team with nine
points each, nailed three-pointers to gain some edge, but the
Chieftains loss 41-28.
Keeping the action at home, Lake Holcombe will host the
next three conference games, starting with Cornell Dec. 8, then
taking on Prairie Farm Dec. 10 and Flambeau Dec. 11.

James Pfeiffer, each secured their opponents with a pin to put
Cadott at a 24-3 lead early in the match.
Josh Spaeth, head coach, said Pfeiffer earned best effort for
the night, while Gillett earned fastest pin.
James won his first high school match by pinning his opponent and scoring bonus points for the team, he said.
In the 170 and 120 weight classes, freshman Mitchell Gunderson, who received best takedown, and sophomore Bailey
Gillett, won by restraining their contenders in the match to

The Wolfpack held significant leads over their competitors,
winning against Bruce and Regis by over 40 points. The other

Sime said after all Ebner has done to grow and improve
the track program, it is about time he received some real
recognition for it. Cindy Miller, Lake

saying Ebner is very deserving of this
award.
Ido think that Jake is an exceptional coach, she said. He is wellorganized and always had the best

Great job, James.

Cadott had four wrestlers (M. Gunderson, T. Gillett, B. Gillett
and Andrew Gunderson) in fourth place in their respective
weight classes, with A. Gunderson earning best takedown and
B. Gillett earning best effort.
Bailey finished fourth in a bracket that had three returning
state qualifiers, Spaeth said. He pushed his state qualifying
opponents to the limit, losing one match by one point and another in overtime. Bailey proved he can wrestle with the states
best and we look forward to some possible rematches.
Other Hornet wrestlers (junior Wyatt Cote and sophomore
Huntar Kruckeberg) finished in fifth place, while freshmen CJ

Its a Girls Hunting Life

By: Monique Westaby
A Snapshow Day 1: 10 a.m.

As 10 a.m. inched closer, I
thought about my shot. I had put
the cross hairs just behind the front shoulder, but buck fever had
been bad and I was worried I had only wounded him.
My toes grew colder and my phone battery drained quickly
from the impatient snaps. I grabbed the charger I had brought
and plugged it in.
The battery remained red. I unplugged the cord and tried it
about 50 more times; still nothing.
Shots rang out around me, each one worrying me more that
my monster buck (which continued to grow as I thought back to
the few seconds he had been in range) was going to be someone
elses trophy.
My phone notified me that 15 percent battery remained, which
meant about 10 minutes of constant play, or half an hour of sitting
in my pocket in case of emergency. Neither sounded like something I wanted to do, but I pushed through the pain and stuck my
phone in my pocket.
A deer came through, not a shooter, and shortly after a red
squirrel chased a grey squirrel around my stand. I looked at my
phone. I had another hour to wait. I looked at my phone again.
The battery hadnt magically charged.
What if someone needs to get ahold of me and my battery is
dead? What if I have an emergency? What if my Snapchat followers want to know what Im doing?
Since my toes were getting chilly, I decided to hike back to
my car to warm up. Ten minutes later, I was in my Pontiac with
the heat on. Since the charger was so convenient, I figured I might
as well charge my phone while I was there.
Five minutes passed and I wondered how many monster bucks
walked past my stand while I was in my car. The walk back
seemed so far now, all 400 yards of it, and I looked at the field
and back at my car.
We can make er, I thought as Iput the car in drive.
I bounced across the field to the edge of the woods, deciding
I would let my phone charge while I waited the rest of the 20
minutes in my stand. It was brutal, but I made it without technology until my husbands truck joined my car.
Once he reached my stand (with my phone in tow as per my
shouted request), we talked about the events that had unfolded.
Fifteen minutes later my brother was there and it was time to start
looking for my buck.
Theres a deer right there! my husband said excitedly. Its
a buck!
He pulled up his scope and said it was a six, then asked if it
was the one I shot at. I laughed and told him no, mine was bigger.
We let the young deer walk, then climbed down to find blood.
After trailing tiny specks here and there, and only one spot of
actual good blood, we hit the bog swamp and the track was
gone. We couldnt tell which direction he went, and hed never
stopped to bed or catch his breath. We discussed the situation,
and with such little
blood and considerably white hair, it was
determined I had
grazed the brisket and
my trophy had lived
to see another day.
It wasnt that big
anyway, I tried to
convince my ego-hurt
self. Ill get another
chance tonight
Wisconsins nine-day regular gun season ended with more

than 612,000 hunters participating in the yearly hunt. Preliminary registration totals indicate hunters brought in 201,812
deer during that period.
Many lakes across the northwoods are ice covered, but
thickness is variable and only in the range of 1-3 inches.
Lakes remain open through most of central and southern Wisconsin, allowing anglers to continue to fish from boats.
Turkeys have begun to form winter flocks, so late-season
turkey hunters may see a change in daily patterns. Pheasant
hunters still have good success with many birds in road
ditches and parking areas.
Squirrel numbers have been strong and offer challenges for
beginning and advanced hunters.
Statewide Birding Report
After an atypically large influx in October, reports of snowy
owls have dropped off precipitously. Approximately 87 have
been tallied in 40 counties statewide. Short-eared owls are
seen near dusk at large grassland and wetland complexes,

while great horned owls are ramping up courtship activities.
Waterfowl migration remains slow amid atypically warm
weather conditions throughout the region. Numbers and diversity of many species are expected to build in the coming
weeks if and when northern water bodies eventually freeze.
Lake Michigan has featured good numbers of red-breasted
mergansers along with scoters, red-throated and common
loons, long-tailed ducks and other regular species, though
numbers have been below average.
Tundra swans are seen by the thousands on the Upper Mississippi River south of La Crosse and lower Green Bay.
December often brings winter finches to the region from
Canadian breeding grounds. This year looks to be good for
Bohemian waxwings and pine grosbeaks. Common redpolls
are seen statewide, though more commonly across the north.
Small numbers of red and white-winged crossbills and
evening grosbeaks have been reported, especially up north.

Deer Camp: The best place on earth

Hello friends,
This is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for
The Red Brush Gang. We call a 36x18-foot pole barn home
each November, which we put up on public land in the
Meadow Valley Wildlife Area.
By the last day of season, over 25 people will have slept
in it and let me tell ya folks, we hunt hard. And at night, we
have a lot of fun.
Saturday, Nov. 21 High 35, Low 22
The majority of the gang came to camp Thursday night,
and with about a dozen of our members being in the 20something age range, the evening is just a blast for us conservative old timers to watch.
There were several wrestling matches and yours truly obtained rib and head injuries, with the rib injuries lasting the
entire nine-day season. The head wound was so ugly I refused to look at it the first six days I was in camp.
Last night I cooked my meal for the season scalloped
potatoes and ham, a hot dish made of rice and wild game
and squash. In reality, you need about 50 pounds of food
to feed this gang. Once the meal is served, you get to bellyup to the table the rest of the season and have someone else
prepare your meals.
On opening morning, there were 18 of us spread out over
about 15-square miles.
Twenty-seven-year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer
as night was becoming day, and that was confirmed when
it became light enough. Ryan had what he described was
an incredibly easy shot at a nine-point buck with an 18inch spread. Ryans trophy had a very busted-up rack, but
won The Red Brush Gangs big buck contest.
About 3-miles north, Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old
son, Derek, hunted an area near the Sprague Mather
Flowage. Just like last year, Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolves and later in the day they relocated. Doug saw a six pointer go through the brush and
made some venison.
Back in the area of our camp, Dick Schuster (who is in
his mid 60s), climbed a pine tree and sat all day, missing an
easy shot on a six pointer. He tried a desperation shot and
put a bullet in its neck.
These three guys were buck brothers for the night. As

far as the rest of the gang goes, over half of us did not see
a deer.
Selina and I hunted where we bow hunted. I believe the
water levels rising over 10 inches in dry marshes, then
freezing into half ice, pushed the deer out of our area. In
two days of dark-to-dark hunting, Selina and I saw one deer.
Tonight, as I have done for 44 consecutive years, I headed
to Necedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St.
Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
On Monday, after a very lively Sunday night at camp, we
began a different method of hunting deer big drives that
literally cover a square mile.
Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass. All of
us find out what kind of physical condition we are in (or
not in). We had pretty steady action and not such good success.
None of the adults had a doe tag, but three kids did.
Three bucks were kicked up and it sounded like one of them
would have won the big buck contest.
That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run, and
both missed. The half ice I was talking about is incredibly
difficult to travel through. The marsh grass grabs your legs
and you have to break ice to make the next step forward.
On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll, his dad, Jeff
Moll (40 consecutive years), Doug, Selina and me.
We ate a great meal. Jeff would not let Doug and I go to
bed, and the next day we hunted hard and that night had visitors who kept us up late once again.
Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place.

Fourth graders research

their roots and heritage

Throughout October, Cadott fourth graders worked on a

heritage inquiry project about life stories, heritage and culture
of their ancestors. Students started the unit by interviewing
parents and grandparents about traditions or customs of their
families.
The fourth graders chose a country where their ancestors
came from, then researched to learn more about that country.
Some students focused on dances and sports popular to the
country, while others researched types of foods or holidays.
To help students complete their research, they planned their
sources, read for detail and organized facts, then synthesized
the information and reflected on the research process.
In the end, the fourth-graders used Google Drive and created a presentation covering what they learned. They explain
how people in their ancestral countries live and how these
lifestyles compare or differ from American lifestyles.
The final part of the project was Heritage Days, where families were invited to view the slideshows. Families brought
food, including a secret Italian spaghetti recipe, lefse, cookies, pretzels and kolaches.

traditions and foods popular there.

Kids
Community
Christmas
Dixons Apple Orchard

Wagon rides were given at Dixons Deck the Halls

event in Cadott, with tractors bringing guests
through the woods to the venues wedding area.
The business opened this spring, and offers couples an outdoor place for weddings, with an indoor
area for receptions. Festive music by Danville serenaded guests and their children, as they met
Santa, created ornaments and sampled sweets.
The Kids Community Christmas,

sponsored by the Cornell Lions
Club, Cornell Area Betterment
Association and area businesses, saw about 800 people
walk through the doors at the
Cornell High School Dec. 5. Of
those 800, about 370 were kids,
who received a free gift thanks to
donations from businesses.
Along with a gift, children could
also get their face painted, meet
Santa and Mrs. Claus, dance to
music from DJ Steve Schlageter,
make crafts, meet the Cornell Police Department, and get lunch
and dessert. At the end of the
two-hour event, four bikes, a
tablet and several gift certificates
were drawn for.
Phoebe Sreckov, 2, Eau Claire, asks new acquaintance Isabella Lancor, 3, Cadott, if she can borrow
the glue to finish her Christmas project at the Dec.
6 Deck the Halls with Dixons event.
Kelsey and Shaun wire together and decorate pine
branches by request for guests at Dixons Apple
Orchard Deck the
Halls event Dec. 6.
The free, holiday
event smelled like
Christmas and pine
trees, as those in
attendance sorted
through which pine
boughs were best
for their porch pot,
wreath or decorative swatch.
After visiting the Cornell Kids Community Christmas Party and receiving a Rudolph nose, Lauren
Samardzich, fourth-grader at Cornell Elementary,
visited the Holiday Marketplace in Holcombe.
There, she played Amazing Grace on a dulcimer
made by Gary Germain, Cornell. Germain says he
loves watching kids play the dulcimer, which he
made specifically for them so it didnt fall off their
laps. Germain has made the instruments for over
17 years, and says anyone who can count to 10
(and even those who cant) can play.
Holiday Marketplace
Norma Arts, Holcombe, selects a pottery piece from

artist Kathleen Koehler at the Holiday Marketplace
Dec. 5. Koehler said she did well at the show, and
sat alongside other vendors with handcrafted items
like scarves, bags and decor.
Dianne and Robert Bayerl choose which cookies

they would like from the remaining trays at the
Cookie Walk Dec. 5. The annual event happened at
the Lake Holcombe School during the Holiday Marketplace, where Frosty the Snowman also made an
appearance for pictures.
